Typographic trends: you can't ignore them if you want your newspaper to be fashionable
Article Abstract:
Newspaper designers need to keep abreast of trends in graphic design if they want their newspapers to be fashionable. Many mainstream publications, such as the Chicago Tribune, have adopted unconventional spacing, sometimes using overlapping headlines or running the words together, to attract readers. Populist publications are also using a fusion of art, type and elements to create a cheesy exuberance, while some magazines aimed at younger readers use tight and obscure typography to attract attention.
